Re: End Game Scoring Rules

In the animation Dave says that during the final 20 seconds the robots..."will move toward their platform"...and in the animation the bots ALL move to their platforms, in the game manual the only reference to scoring in the final 20 seconds is regarding elevation of the bots...SO

Can bots score goals with the balls during the final 20 seconds of the game?
There is nothing whatsoever in the rules restricting robot motion in the Finale, aside from not being able to touch the opponent's tower and the rule on only one robot in the opponent's zone. Whether you think it's more advantageous to hang or to score is up to you.
